[bf1942] Using sqlite with BF2 in Windows

[Giel van Schijndel]

To be honest I don't have a clue how and why this could be. It almost
seems as if EA/DICE limited the ability to import libraries on the
windows server on purpose.

And since every single server (for whatever purpose) I use is
Linux-based I can't test it either (I only use win on my
development/test/game-system).

Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
